MuayThai v TKD Shocking and Amazing Video Footage

Notice the Difference in Fighting Styles

Tae Kwon Do is primarily a kicking art, and in TKD competitions, you score with kicks at least 95% of the time. Muay Thai, on the other hand, is almost all-around in terms of striking and is known as “The Art of Eight Limbs,” but it doesn’t have as much variety of kicking as compared to Tae Kwon Do. In addition, a Tae Kwon Do roundhouse kick is overall more efficient than that in Muay Thai according to the YouTube video The Power Kicks of Taekwondo. However, Muay Thai fighters are usually trained to harden their shin and utilize low kicks quite often, which is not permitted in a TKD competition, and given a no-holds-barred type of kicking match, if a Muay Thai fighter blocks a kick with his/her shin, it could potentially break the opponent’s leg.

Muay Thai

Muay Thai is a combat sport of Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. This physical and mental discipline which includes combat on shins is known as “the art of eight limbs” because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, shins, being associated with a good physical preparation that makes a full-contact fighter very efficient. Muay Thai became widespread internationally in the twentieth century, when practitioners defeated notable practitioners of other martial arts.
